Hi, I’m Antonio Santana

About Me
A brief introduction about who I am and what I do.
Since 2018, I’ve been building software that solves real problems. It started at UFS (Federal University of Sergipe) and quickly grew into freelance work, startup life, and fintech projects for major Brazilian companies.
Today I work as a Mid-Level Full Stack Developer, handling everything from C#/.NET backends and PostgreSQL databases to React frontends and AWS infrastructure. I’ve built AI-powered features, payment systems, CI/CD pipelines, and internal tools that ship to thousands of users.
Beyond coding, I mentor students and conduct research in algorithms at UNIT. I also spent a semester at Riga Technical University in Latvia, which gave me an international perspective on software engineering.
